ORGANIZATION SUMMARY:
World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to boldly engage the world’s greatest crises in partnership with the church. The organization was founded in the aftermath of World War II to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs of war-torn Europe. Since then, for 80 years, across 100 countries, World Relief has partnered with local churches and communities to build a world where families thrive and communities flourish.

Today, organizational programming focuses on humanitarian and disaster response, community strengthening and resilience, and refugee & immigrant services and advocacy.

The International IT Officer will act as a key liaison between leadership and technical support teams across World Relief’s country offices and the Home Office International Programs and IT departments. Operating with a high degree of autonomy and without direct supervisory responsibility, this role provides technical leadership, guidance, training, and Tier 2 support to strengthen the effective adoption of IT tools, services, and policies across diverse contexts. A core responsibility includes promoting a strong security posture aligned with industry best practices, while building sustainable local capacity and supporting consistent application of global IT standards. Success in this role requires excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities, creativity, adaptability, as well as the capacity to communicate effectively with diverse teams across various cultures, time zones, and varying levels of technical maturity.  World Relief primarily leverages the Microsoft ecosystem, including Microsoft 365, Entra and Azure.
